Fly Together

[Chorus: Ryan Leslie & Aasim]

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby (Uh-huh)

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah (Check it out, uh)

[Verse 1: Aasim]

Dear Pop, know you livin' up top

Hope that you lookin' down as I give this my best shot

Sorry for all the fights, arguments out of spite

Compliments of my pride, not the apology type

But I cried me a river, sick of soakin' in sin

And I'm up shit's creek, knowin' I couldn't swim

I'm just tappin' my veins to bring me back from the pain

Sittin', rackin' my brain to carry your last name

Holdin' my head down but not 'cause I'm ashamed

It's words that I'm writin' down, hope they critically acclaimed

Used to hug the lamp post, look at me, I done changed

Selfish, and then considerate, look at me, I'm the same

Always keep you in prayer, look at me, I've been prayin'

And I know I shoulda listened to everything you was sayin'

But it's go time, you by my side, who could stop me?

It's show time, I could feel you part of my heartbeat

[Chorus: Ryan Leslie & Aasim]

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby (Yeah)

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh, uh)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah (Uh, uh)

[Verse 2: Aasim]

Dear Aniya, the Devil is a liar

Keep your heads in the clouds and be everything you aspire

Daddy's doin' his diligence to keep you from the fire

Ignorant isn't bliss and soon it gotta expire

Remember when you was born, I was sworn a provider

But your mother's a moolie and treats me like a liar

Diary of a mad black woman, never be that

Hopefully as you get older, you could grow to see that

As times flies, lies slow down and catch up

When you deal with emotion, somethin' is bound to mess up

But even if I'm not around, my energy's strong

The legacy's long, so it'd be around when our enemies gone

Learn to separate, winners never hesitate

The worst is always present before the better could elevate

All I know is, you the power that keeps me goin'

I think you feel it, but I'm hopin' that one day you know it

[Chorus: Ryan Leslie, Aasim, Ryan Leslie & Aasim]

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah (Uh, uh)

[Verse 3: Aasim]

I spent a lotta time chasin' all the bad shit

A product of starvin', I was caught in the madness

Lookin' for light in the tunnel, caught in the blackness

The problem child just lookin' for love

I couldn't look up above, afraid a pigeon would shit in my face

But givin' up is not a option, I finish the race

This world wants me in the grave, and give up my faith

But there's a God watchin' over and keepin' me safe

[Chorus: Ryan Leslie, Aasim & Both]

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh-huh)

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah

[Outro: Aasim, The Notorious B.I.G. & Ryan Leslie]

I wanna thank y'all for listenin'

This was just my story

The endin' of a chapter, Money Pit 3

Hope you enjoyed the ride

It ain't over though

Ayo, B.I.G., talk to 'em

My music really ain't really got no messages like

For somebody else to listen to and like learn from

It's just basically an autobiography of my self, you know what I'm sayin'?

You could take it either way you want it

You could take it as you wanna be like me, or you could take it as you wanna stay away from what I was doin'

You know, I mean I can't really

Be that role model type of nigga, you know what I'm sayin'?

I could leave that to the parents and the teachers and shit

I'm not a role model at all, I'm not

I'm just a regular guy, I'm just makin' music

So when I fly, you fly, we fly together

And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah
